Superman LP - 1975

sg

Tracks:
One of the most popular of the Power Records, if this album's ubiquity on eBay is any indication.

No producer credits, but these are three fine audio adventures. The actor playing Superman in particular is spot-on; sounding commanding and powerful yet friendly and intelligent.

And--does this even need to be said?--Neal Adams' cover art is phenomenal. I love how mean and angry Luthor looks (this Luthor doen't need some silly battlesuit to fight Supes!) and Mxyzptik looks odd and creepy (the voice of Mxy on the record matches the look, as well).

Planet of the Apes LP - 1974

Tracks:
Power Records never met a reissue they didn't like, but in this case it makes total sense--collecting all four of the Planet of the Apes audio adventures onto one record. Produced by Arthur Korb, this LP features a spiffy Ernie Chan front cover (an unusual choice for them), and a back cover by no one whose style I recognize.

Oh, if only Power Records had decided to complete the Apes story...

The Six Million Dollar Man

sg

Tracks:
A perfectly sensible choice to market as a comic book and Power Record, The Six Million Dollar Man never quite caught on, oddly enough. It certainly wasn't for a lack of trying--this Neal Adams sleeve art is, of course, phenomenal.

Produced by Arthur Korb.
